The evil is this way?

I'm interested in why no one brought up the monster as a deterrant to going inland.

Me too. Jack did refer to being able to "defend" or "set up defenses" which may have been in reference to the monster. But, since no one knows exactly what it is or what it can do (other than pull the pilot out of the cockpit and kill him bloodily), I don't get why Jack thinks the cave in the jungle where the monster has been is more secure than the beach where the monster has yet to visit.

Art Crawl!!!

Well, the skeletons suggest that the bodies were there undisturbed for many years.

Punishingly Intricate

Heh. There's an interview with Maggie Grace who plays Shannon at tvguide.com today and she says the cast sits around speculating about what's going to happen and, in particular, what the epileptic trees really are. She says,

Dominic thinks it's an elephant with cats duct-taped to it.

Makes sense to me!

I'm interested in why no one brought up the monster as a deterrant to going inland.

I thought Kate did, obliquely, when Jack asked her why she wasn't going and she said she didn't want to die. I assumed that was a reference to the pilot, but she wasn't saying it outright because only she, Jack and Charlie know about that.

It was weird to me that people weren't more freaked out by the bodies at the caves. Kate seemed to be when she first spotted them but that's about it. Aside from Charlie's reaction to them, which wasn't nearly as horrified as mine would have been.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."

I'm thinking that a few discreetly mummified bodies aren't as much of a horror show when you've been through six days of 'Lost'.

"Oh good, some bodies that aren't decomposing in a hot fuselage, being gored by boars or burning up in an enormous stinky pyre."

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

You know, I had forgotten until Locke made surprised noises about the "people here before us" that most of the crash survivors don't know about the message in French (or, I guess, the polar bear). Between Sayid's determination to keep hope alive and Locke's faith in the island, I'm losing my sanguinity regarding rational behavior from these guys.

He was a waiter, wasn't he?

Well, yeah, but I had the idea that he was waiting tables while doing something else. And I realize now that that was because of Sun's reaction when he said he was going to work for her father (didn't he say something about a factory? I can't integrate that with the crime-lord thing...my deficiency, I'm sure), which I thought meant "No, don't give up your dreams and work for my father" but now realize meant "No, I want to marry you partially to escape my father's sordid business", so, um, yeah. Waiter.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

So, does every episode begin with an eye opening? Couple that with "living is easy with eyes closed"

Depending on if you consider the pilot 1 or 2 eps...(I consider it 1), every ep except Kate's has begun focused on the person's eye.

This may be notable for some reason since Kate is the person of the group who most notably had been living a lie.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

(didn't he say something about a factory? I can't integrate that with the crime-lord thing...my deficiency, I'm sure)

I think he was going to work in "the factory" in the same sense that Tony Soprano is in the business of "waste management." It's just a euphemism.
